Hello, and Welcome to cuTheme advanced training, Module 1. In this video, we will be covering Descriptions.
Descriptions are a special type of post that let you create content in question-and-answer format.
You can categorize descriptions, and list them on pages via the description listing block.
To add a descriptions post, go to the left sidebar, hover over Descriptions, and click Add new. You will be redirected to your new description, where you will be able to edit it.
The interface for a description is very similar to creating a new page or post, but descriptions only have simple text blocks. You can add a title, generally in question format, at the top, and below you can write the answer to the question. You can also add lists and buttons if necessary.
Once finished, you can add a category to your description, allowing it to be easily grouped with similar ones.
